Summer Barbecue Raises Funds for Age Care Association
Supporters of Age Care Association recently attended a Summer Barbecue held at Hotel Tamisa Golf, Mijas Costa. Guests enjoyed a sit-down meal followed by entertainment provided by Gareth Christian. The event was very well supported and funds were raised to help the association provide the care and advice for which it is known on the Costa del Sol.
A raffle was held with prizes donated by supporters of the Age Care Association. A cheque for €1000.00 was presented to Age Care by Tony Bellamy, President of La Cala Lions.
Age Care Association is a fully registered, non-profit making, charitable organisation and is run entirely by volunteers. It provides help and information for older English-speaking people living in Spain. Volunteers, some with specialised knowledge, are always needed. If you are a car driver we always need help with trips to the hospital, doctors and for shopping.
About Age Care Association
Age Care Association is a fully registered, non-profit making organisation staffed entirely by volunteers. Our Spanish registration number is 6282 – CIF – G92487602 (Registro de Asociaciones de Andalucia). The majority of our work is helping older British people living in the Province of Malaga, but we do not exclude other nationalities that speak English. We provide welfare information, practical support and two help lines (Telephones: 691761088, and 655903182). The Association also has a hospital and home visiting team. Other volunteers visit people in Care Homes when necessary. As part of our work we have repatriated some individuals to the UK, where there are more caring facilities and access to benefits unavailable in Spain. Some of our volunteers have had careers in nursing, education, psychology and other caring professions and are accustomed to listening in a sympathetic and kind manner. We work closely with the British Consulate, Royal British Legion, and branches of the International Lions.
